Critiques

missing information


(1 étoile)

my review has nothing against the reader at all. With that being said there are 28 pages of this report that have been omitted due to them being labeled "classified". These missing pages prove that Saudi Arabia influenced the attack on our country as well as debunking other myths our "Officials" spoon fed us as being fact.

waste of time, nothing but lies.

One complaint


(3 étoiles)

I try not to complain about a narrator's voice, and if it was something else, this narrator's voice would be pleasant. Chapter 9.2 The narrator sounds like a sweet librarian who is reading to a group of elementary school students. It sounds like she is reading a fictional fairytale, but the words are brutal. I had to stop listening and skip to the next part because there was such a dissonance for me.

confusing

This book is based on lies. The commission report was written in point form before commission members ever had their first meeting.

informative, one reader mispronounces too many words


(4 étoiles)

I love this. Very informative. However, there are multiple readers and most are great but one has a very soft voice that I found hard to listen to. Worst of all, she mispronounces at least one word per sentence. If this kind of thing annoys you, you will be cringing a lot. I just couldn’t bear listening to those chapters. However, I loved all the other presenters.

A great reading of a piece of history. It's the government commission so very detailed and interesting. The veracity of its contents is for you to decide, but worth enjoying regardless.

Great
